Before television there was radio. And before that there was Charles Dickens and his timeless seasonal classic, A Christmas Carol. In this performance, we recreate the age of radio with a stage presentation of Dickens' story. Taken with minor modification from the original radio play produced by The Campbell Soup Company, this production tells the story of a very special Christmas Eve experienced by one Ebenezer Scrooge. Using only stage microphones and a Foley table for sound effects, the cast of this production present an auditory experience, much like what would have been experienced in the live radio studio many years ago. With a live cast recreating the roles played by Orson Wells and Lionel Barrymore, among others, this is as close to an early 20th century production as you will find.

A Christmas Carol, the Radio Show will be presented twice at the Conrad Mansion, 330 Woodland Ave, Kalispell, MT 59901: Once on Friday, December 9 at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday, December 11 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $20. Reservations are strongly encouraged as space is limited. For reservations, call the Mansion at 755-2166.
